A study by OkCupid, an online dating site in the US, has shown that atheists have more success in online dating.

It seems those who included the word 'atheist' in their messages on the site received 10% more replies than average.

Self-effacing men were also more likely to get replies and people who used the words "good taste" or "you mention" in messages busted response rates close to 50%.

On the other hand, using 'textspeak' like "ur" and "luv" was a major turn off.
